I had one about 7 weeks pregnant in hospital, to be honest barely felt it. They gave me paracetamol as well as anti-sickness (I was already experiencing morning sickness) never threw up during it and only had diarrhoea at the end due to the medication they gave.
Its a bit crampy but its not as bad as some people make out to be. I was nervous as heck but I just went in and got it done.
Obviously everyone feels pain differently but as someone who had 2 previous miscarriages it was no where near as painful as them. Please don't be scared and keep on top of painkillers, its soon a distant memory💗Sorry to hear, its not an easy decision. Just make sure to have a partner or someone you trust with you. Feel free to send me a message ☺️

After surgery underwear

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

C-Section date

I have had my obstetrician appointment at 36+5 days to request my elective c section.

The consultant requested the surgery for the 1st October making me 38+5 days on the day of surgery. But she did caution that it may be between the 1st-8th depending on theatre availability.
How many people got honoured the date they requested, and how many requested a specific date and was given a different date?

help 🥲

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲
